It is the most widely used herbicide in the world, and the third most commonly used in North America.[1] 2,4-D is also an important synthetic auxin, often used in laboratories for plant research and as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. History 2,4-D was developed during World War II by a British team at Rothamsted Experimental Station, under the leadership of Judah Hirsch Quastel, aiming to increase crop yields for a nation at war.[citation needed] When it was commercially released in 1946, it became the first successful selective herbicide and allowed for greatly enhanced weed control in wheat, maize (corn), rice, and similar cereal grass crop, because it only kills dicots, leaving behind monocots. Mechanism of herbicide action 2,4-D is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant growth regulators.

  • Growth Regulation and Other Secondary Effects of Herbicides Edivaldo D
    Weed Science 2010 58:351–354 Growth Regulation and Other Secondary Effects of Herbicides Edivaldo D. Velini, Maria L. B. Trindade, Luis Rodrigo M. Barberis, and Stephen O. Duke* As all herbicides act on pathways or processes crucial to plants, in an inhibitory or stimulatory way, low doses of any herbicide might be used to beneficially modulate plant growth, development, or composition. Glyphosate, the most used herbicide in the world, is widely applied at low rates to ripen sugarcane. Low rates of glyphosate also can stimulate plant growth (this effect is called hormesis). When applied at recommended rates for weed control, glyphosate can inhibit rust diseases in glyphosate-resistant wheat and soybean. Fluridone blocks carotenoid biosynthesis by inhibition of phytoene desaturase and is effective in reducing the production of abscisic acid in drought-stressed plants. Among the acetolactate synthase inhibitors, sulfometuron-methyl is widely used to ripen sugarcane and imidazolinones can be used to suppress turf species growth. The application of protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors can trigger plant defenses against pathogens. Glufosinate, a glutamine synthetase inhibitor, is also known to improve the control of plant diseases. Auxin agonists (i.e., dicamba and 2,4-D) are effective, low-cost plant growth regulators. Currently, auxin agonists are still used in tissue cultures to induce somatic embryogenesis and to control fruit ripening, to reduce drop of fruits, to enlarge fruit size, or to extend the harvest period in citrus orchards. At low doses, triazine herbicides stimulate growth through beneficial effects on nitrogen metabolism and through auxin-like effects. Thus, sublethal doses of several herbicides have applications other than weed control.

  • A Novel Role of Ethephon in Controlling the Noxious Weed Ipomoea Cairica
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A novel role of ethephon in controlling the noxious weed Ipomoea cairica (Linn.) Sweet Received: 09 April 2015 1,* 1,* 1,3,* 2 1 Accepted: 22 May 2015 Zhong-Yu Sun , Tai-Jie Zhang , Jin-Quan Su , Wah Soon Chow , Jia-Qin Liu , 1 1 3 1 Published: 18 June 2015 Li-Ling Chen , Wei-Hua Li , Shao-Lin Peng & Chang-Lian Peng Several auxin herbicides, such as 2, 4-D and dicamba, have been used to eradicate an exotic invasive weed Ipomoea cairica in subtropical China, but restraining the re-explosion of this weed is still a challenge. Since ethylene is one of the major intermediate functioning products during the eradication process, we explored the possibility, mechanism and efficiency of using ethephon which can release ethylene to control Ipomoea cairica. The results of the pot experiment showed that 7.2 g /L ethephon could totally kill Ipomoea cairica including the stems and roots. The water culture experiment indicated that ethephon released an abundance of ethylene directly in leaves and caused increases in electrolyte leakage, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), abscisic acid (ABA) and H2O2 and decreases in chlorophyll content and photosynthetic activity, finally leading to the death of Ipomoea cairica. The field experiment showed that the theoretical effective concentration of ethephon for controlling Ipomoea cairica (weed control efficacy, WCE = 98%) was 4.06 g/L and the half inhibitory concentration (I50) was 0.56 g/L. More than 50% of the accompanying species were insensitive to the phytotoxicity of ethephon. Therefore, ethephon is an excellent alternative herbicide for controlling Ipomoea cairica.

  • Nursery Weed Control in the Usa - Practice and Problems
    Weed Control in US NURSERY WEED CONTROL IN THE USA - PRACTICE AND PROBLEMS DAVID B. SOUTH Auburn University Southern Forest Nursery Management Cooperative School of Forestry and Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station Auburn University, Alabama 36849-5418, USA ABSTRACT In southern pine seedbeds, weed control relies on the use of diphenylether herbicides (oxyfluorfen, lactofen) and selective grass herbicides (sethoxydim and fluzifop-p-butyl). A number of nurseries use a polymer to stabilize the soil after sowing. This helps keep the herbicide barrier intact and extends the preemergence activity. Weekly postemergence applications of low rates are common and have proven more effective on weeds than monthly applications at higher rates. A few nurseries tank-mix liquid nutrients along with postemergence applications of oxyfluorfen. This eliminates the need for extra tractor trips to apply granular fertilisers and, in some areas, reduces the cost of fertilisation. The median handweeding time for southern pine nurseries is now 25 hours/ha/yr. INTRODUCTION In 1991, more than 1.6 billion seedlings were produced in tree nurseries in the United States (US) (Mangold et al. 1992). Of this number, 69% were produced in 13 southern states. In comparison, approximately 14% were produced in the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon). Pine seedlings produced in the southern states are almost exclusively 1+0 stock while both container and bare-root stock (2+0, 1+1 and 2+1) are used in the Pacific Northwest. Weed management practices discussed in this paper pertain mainly to 1+0 seedlings of Pinus taeda L. and Pinus elliottii Engelm. Herbicides for hardwood seedbeds are discussed elsewhere (South 1984; South 1992a).

  • Herbicides for Spring Weed Control in Alfalfa — Dwight Lingenfelter and Bill Curran, Penn State Weed Science
    http://cmegicmlebanon.blogspot.com/2012/02/herbicides-for-spring-weed-control-in.html Herbicides for Spring Weed Control in Alfalfa — Dwight Lingenfelter and Bill Curran, Penn State Weed Science It’s time to check the need for weed control. Keep in mind all of these herbicides are labeled for use in pure—stand alfalfa. However, only metribuzin and Pursuit can be applied to established alfalfa-grass mixes. Here are a few guidelines about available products: Gramoxone Inteon 2L (paraquat) — May be applied at 2 to 3 pt/A to established “dormant” stands before 2 inches of spring regrowth. The weeds must be actively growing at the time of application. Gramoxone is also labeled at 1 to 2 pt/A for dormant application on new fall seeded stands. Gramoxone will desiccate any green tissue including actively growing alfalfa. Be especially cautious with new fall seedings. Gramoxone is effective on low to moderate infestations of winter annuals including chickweed, henbit, deadnettle, and mustard species. If winter annual weed infestations are severe, consider one of the soil active alternatives. Do not use on mixed stands. Poast Plus 1E (sethoxydim) — Poast Plus controls annual grasses and suppresses perennial grasses in seedling and established alfalfa. Apply Poast Plus at 1.5 to 2.5 pt/A to actively growing grassy weeds. Poast Plus should be applied to small grasses and performance improves with warmer temperatures. Do not use on mixed stands. Prowl H2O 3.8CS — has a supplemental label for use in seedling and established alfalfa. For seedling alfalfa (2-trifoliate to six inches tall), apply Prowl H2O at 1.1 to 2.1 pints pt/A prior to weed emergence.
